AWFUL sTRAITs.
a Wall from the Democracy Of WASH
.ngton County.
[MaehIas Unlon.l

LMdculds Ouloul
No Knownothingism. Greenbackism, nor
any other know ism,e ever 50 completely over
whelmed or set at defiance the wishes OF the
Democracy Of Washington county as has
teen done by appointments, where local
opinion had no weight, whore petitions. let
ters, written and verbal recommendation,
were entirely ignored. never read, never lis
tened 10, except TO call forth some express
sion Of contempt.
There are instances where men away from
home rate high. Among men and neighbors
at home the reverse sentiment exists. These
men exemplify self in happy pleasing way.
Like Oscar Wilde they enlarge and enrich
the sunhower, when after all II remains the
sunfi0wer still. Diarrhoea OF language,
spread-eagle oratory, II not properly gagged
and sounded, is apt to be misleading and de-
ceptive. Vtvacity, when IL comes from gin
cocktails, instead Of bread and beef, has on
ly transitory place. The familiar presence"
as we'll as persuasive graces" are singularly
dropped around among men; In fact, these
characteristics crop out In trades and profes-
si0ns other than politics.
Hence we see why Buckspcrt's 300 voters,
Deer Isles 800, Eastport's 375, Calais's 400,
manifest united open, unmlstaken Demo
cratic hostility to officials towards whom
large majority Of Democrats should enter
tain only kindly feelings and be In accord in
sustaining by party support at least.
We see, too, why in Washington county,
with not less than 4500 Democratic voters, as
intelligent, well read men, as any other 400
in any county, city or State In the Union,
not over 500 feel satisfied, and a majority OF
the 500 non-committal. We speak what we
know, and what we are prepared to show in
any reasonable way required.
That a mistake has been made, that the
appointing power has been deceived, either
willingly or otherwise, no reasonable man
can doubt.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Six Men Killed and Several Badly
Injured.

SPOKANE FALLS. w. T., April 24.-It has
Just been learned that on Thursday after
noon terrible accident occurred on the
Cascade division of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, four miles beyond Chelum. A
west-bound train pushing a fat car loaded
with laborers was going around curve
leading to trestle at good rate of speed,
when it ran into an engine which was run
ming g east backing up fat car which passed
half through the tender of the light engine,
and the other end crushed up against the
pilot of the west-bound train, on which were
two men, The men were crushed to pulp.
The light engine was knocked thirty feet
Five men were killed outright and one has
since died. The injured number thirteen.
The scene Of the accident, as described by
those present, beggars description. Blood
is scattered in every direction, and the
neighboring rocks bear evidence of the fear
full carnage. The accident was the fault of
one Of the trains crew neglecting to flag as
he was ordered.

TUE DUFFALos TODAY

LUZ DOEE ALOo ~
The Buffalos will be here to-day and to-
morrow and will play the Portlands, the
games commencing at o'clock. The Buff
falos ARE in the International League in
which are also the Syracuse Stars and the
Hamiltons and the two games will doubtless

Portland team Is with them and Is doing
good work for them.
PoRTLANDs, 10; CoLBYs, 8.
The Portlands played the Colbys Satur-
day in the presence Of about 200 people. The
Colbys are the champions of the College

year. The afternoon was cold and the
grounds little soft yet but the game was a
very good one nevertheless. The Portland
batteries were all put in, Quinn, Small and
Hatfield each pitching three innings.
The Portlands were first at the bat and
scored two runs at the start on doubles by
Andrus and Dickerson, an error and put
out. In the third three more were added by
singles by Quinn. Hatfield and Duffey and a
two bagger by DAWN. Four more in the 4th
and one in the 9th ran up the Portlands
score, and in the sth seven base hits added
five more.
The Colbys did not score until the third
inning when, after two men had died at first,
Goodwin got to second on tumble and wild
throw and was sent home by Larrabees two
bagger over into left field. Larrabee stole
| third and camehome on wild pitch. Dono-
| van followed him around the diamond, get
| ting home on Wages scratch hit, In the
| fifth Donovan again made the circle OF the
bases ON a three bagger and a wild pitch and
in the ninth Goodwin made three Dagger
and got in on Larrabees sacrifice at first.

Or. John Wesley Johnson Decorates
His Grave.
[saco sentIneLl


DR.. John Wesley John of this city,, has
long enjoyed the privilege, seldom, If ever,
before accorded man-that Of decorating
his own grave. AS is we'll known, when
quite small. he was stolen by the Indians
while at play near the house Iof his parents,
then living in Limington. His parents sup
posed him dead, and erected there a tomb
stone, which was lettered to his memory.
His mother died in Limington, and tomb
stone was there erected to her memory. The
family remaining removed to BiddefOrd and
the remains of the mother were removed to
Greenwood cemetery in this city, and the
two t0mbstoncs reset there. The doctors
identity was not discovered till he had grown
up. So he has had the privilege of caring
for his own grave for many years.
Another singular circumstance connected
with the family is that DIR. John Wesley
johnson has brother of precisely the same
name, now living at Columbus, Georgia. At
ter the present DIR. John was stolen, his par
ents supposed him dead. Another son was
born to them. which they named for the lost
one-so the two brothers have the same
name. The family Is said to designate them
''our John" and 'Indian John" or "Dr.
